Public nudity is prohibited and it is seen by law as “indecent exposure”. This does not mean you can’t be nude in the privacy of your own home, or any other appropriate public place like a naturist beach or resort.There are a variety of nudist accommodation around the country to choose from, catering both for families and gay travelers. The key is to respect other people’s beliefs and not to offend. South African nudist beaches are not official, but as it’s quoted by Wikipedia: “There are no beaches in South Africa where the right to bathe nude is protected. However, Sandy Bay and the Umhlanga Lagoon and Mpenjati beach are beaches where nudity is accepted and bathers are very unlikely to be prosecuted for simply being naked.”​As a country as a whole the appeal is obvious - South Africa was the first country in the world to enable protection from persecution and discrimination on the grounds of race, gender and - sexual orientation; meaning that for the first time discrimination was made illegal. This law was passed in 1996, following the 1994 democratic elections and the purging of our Apartheid past.Historical information points to Cape Town as having been popular to gay travelers from as far back as the 1700's, sailors coming over on some of the most luxuriant, beautifully designed boats ever seen.Many gay clubs exist in Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg. (It does not stop here, as swinger clubs are also prevalent in most cities.)Why is nudism / naturism an important and healthy choice?Being a naturist helps you to develop a healthy attitude towards your body and a positive body image. Naturism promotes body acceptance and increases self-esteem and self-respect. It is liberating, and should be enjoyed by any and every one.Naturism is a great way to relieve stress and to relax. To embrace your naked body and accept it with all its flaws and being nude helps you to become more comfortable in your own skin. Nudity is natural and is a great way to experience nature in the most natural way. It fosters self-respect, respect for others and a respect for nature.For more information, phone +27 844104888 or visit www.amatungulu.com/eden or email amatungulutours@gmail.com.
